Risotto for a Rainy Sunday

Sometimes all you need to cure a case of the Sunday Blahs is a short walk and some snacks, but it gets a little more complicated when the weather stinks. On Sunday, Jon and I donned our raincoats, went for a longish walk, and had a hot, filling lunch at Risotteria that also doubled as dinner. The risotto was among the best I've tasted. Perfectly cooked--not too al dente, not too mushy--and very flavorful. Blahs be banished!

The neato part? Pretty much everything on the menu is gluten free. And you can get vegetarian versions (vegetable stock instead of chicken stock in the risotto, for example) of pretty much everything...well, except for the meatballs.
